My wife is vegetarian and the amount of foliage she gets through is phenomenal but I don’t think she’d be keen of processed cabbage protein. If you went to a Lincolnshire primary school in the late 1970’s like me you might remember TVP mince another Lincolnshire first a soya meat replacement that would have turned the most ardent Vegan carnivorous.I don’t know the answer to that but I’ll guess it could be that we don’t have a big enough gut to extract enough protein from raw or cooked cabbages alone to meet our needs so we still need to eat meat, eggs etc. I would presume the factory is pre digesting and concentrating the protein for us so then perhaps we don’t need to eat meat to top up our protein requirements.
It’s all a bit 6 and half a dozen as far I’m concerned. Why displace meat grown on clover which supplies its own nitrogen with no natural gas needed, with crops that presently rely on irreplaceable natural gas as the nitrogen source? But anyway, if it keeps folks happy and busy then good luck to them.
